Thursday's Children March 14, 2013

A weekly blog hop where writers come together to talk about whatever inspires them. Join us!

This blog hop is about how we find inspiration as writers. A
special thanks, to Rhiann Wynn-Nolet http://rhiannwynnnolet.com/ and Jessica Fleck http://jessikafleck.blogspot.com/ for Thursday’s Children Blog Hop. See the
linkey below and hop on. Or take a tour of the other inspiring stories with
Thursday’s Children bloggers.

Well, and this may sound a little perverse, but after coming
down with a nasty bronchitis last week, I realized a VERY important inspiration
--and that is BEING HEALTHY! It’s
always more apparent after being sick, unable to do ANYTHING except stare at
the walls, to remind you of how much you value your health.

Maybe it was a good thing that my usually over active mind
was numbed down, because I had energy for nothing--barely able to visualize. It
could have been extremely frustrating. So I used this time as a deep
meditation. I did read one book at the onset, that I Loved: CODE NAME: VERITY (thought
I’d read more). This incredible story gave me a lot to dream about before the malaise overwhelmed
me. When I became the staring Zombie.

Being Healthy after infirmary
is inspiring, and for me, creates a frenzy of ambition. All the things
neglected come to the forefront, and I want to accomplish them all in a hurry.

I must pace myself though, or risk collapsing/stressing/suppressing
my immune system again—did I not learn my lesson.

As a dear old friend’s mother, who survived Auschwitz said
to me, “if you have your health, you have everything.”

Having just recovered myself from an injury that knocked me out of doing so many of those little things that need doing during a day (I never realized how much I take my body for granted until I couldn't do things like putting toothpaste on my brush, etc.)....

Well, having just gotten through that, I understand the relief you must feel. Take care of yourself. Make use of the inspiration, but don't overdo. Be good to you.
